Fix the handling of empty ports, to restore the ability to use the device
with less than 4 populated ports and also be able to hot-plug new devices
in empty ports at runtime.

Explicitly cast the response code in maple_response_devinfo() to s8 so
that 0xFF from the device gets interpreted as signed and flows like the
NONE response, previously it was considered unknown response code, which
blocked the maple bus.

Remove the locking variable from maple_vblank_handler() as there is no
locking information returned from maple_add_packet() and it lead to only
ever check exactly one empty port.

Update maple_response_devinfo() to explicitly check for empty ports on
unit 0, to be able to hot-plug devices in empty ports.

v1->v2: Don't break hot-plugging of new devices to empty ports.
	Explicitly cast the response code to s8 to use the existing
	logic, that relies on signed chars. In the case of 0xff (all 1s,
	DCs TIMEOUT response) that was interpreted as 255 unknown response
	code, which blocked the maple bus, as busy was never reset. Add
	condition to maple_response_devinfo() to process the devinfo 
	for currently empty ports.

v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251112190444.3631533-1-fuchsfl@gmail.com/ (local)

Note that the removal of peripherals is possible, the ports get marked as
empty, but the driver is never detached. That means a peripheral can be
removed, but the port keeps "reserved" for this peripheral and can't be
reused with another peripheral.

VMUs can't be removed at runtime, as MTD keeps a reference to it, so that
mdev->can_unload() is never true. But the same peripheral can be
inserted to the same port again.
